I decided to enter the Honeynet challenge. To maximize my
own learning experience, I decided to do it the hard way: by
not running the binary, not even in strace or a debugger.
Just working on the disassembler output. The first part was
easier than the last part. I actually thought I could
finish this in 24 hours, but then I fell asleep on the
keyboard ;-)

I am finished now and I think it was worth it. There is
still plenty of time, so if you think you are up to it, go
ahead and join the
contest!
